You’re welcome and thank you for listening!

Thank you, Robert. I bet you like it because it has an ending. 😏

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for listening!

With rare exception, I almost always use Logic Pro’s “adapt tempo” feature to match the fluctuations on the original recording. Here is a video of my process. ruclips.net/video/OI7GjVUKzCw/видео.html

@jackinvox i didn't know that feature exist thanks haha

Thanks for listening. Glad you like it.

Hello! Thanks for listening (and asking). I do not control the copyright to the song so, as far as I'm concerned, yes, you may.

@jackinvox Well, yeah, I thought so, but wanted to ask since this is the best recording I've heard and really wanted to use this version, so thanks! I think I may use it.

Thanks for listening

Thanks!

Thanks for listening. Rick Wakeman was a youngster (two months shy of 22) when he contributed the piano to the Cat Stevens' record. That was right before he recorded the brilliant piano part on David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” Rick was just 20 when he contributed the Mellotron to Bowie’s “Space Oddity.”

Thanks for listening. I’d always been moved by the music but I finally paid attention to Eleanor Farjeon’s lyrics. Lovely piano interjections from Rick Wakeman on the Stevens’ record.

Ta. I'm not exactly sure what that means. Perhaps there are seven levels? ;-) ruclips.net/video/49b2hQuRQpU/видео.htmlsi=uI_831mBbn-ClZ5L&t=101

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, Robert: I originally posted a cover of this song four years ago. This is just a quick one or two-hour remix employing some of the tricks I've hopefully picked up along the way. Thanks for checking it out and I hope the song brings good memories for you as it does for me.

Thank you! 🎸

Thanks again. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Simple lovely song with a profound message.

Thank you for listening.

Hi, Jamie: Thanks for the support and the suggestion. Honestly I have at least four dozen other songs in the queue right now and I am often hired to create others (I'm afraid paid work has to take precedence) so it might be couple of years. If you care to share an email address, I can send a karaoke version with the vocals removed by stem separation software straight away.

Thanks!

Many thanks and glad you enjoyed it.

Burt Bacharach and Hal David rule!

Gracia!

Indeed! Thanks for listening.

@RyeRyeShnatBat: Thanks for listening. Can you please clarify what “wrong key” means? This cover is based upon this 1970 live version by Eric Burdon and War which sounds in C and you can see both Howard Scott and B.B. Dickerson are playing their respective instruments in C. ruclips.net/video/4-Xs7NK-7B8/видео.html The studio release sounds somewhere in the crack between C and Db and, since it features fixed-pitch instruments (e.g. organ), I suspect tape speed manipulation modulated the pitch of the master slightly sharp.

Thanks! Your comment looks like a New Year's celebration.

I'm sorry, no, I don't have a license to publish sheet music for this copyrighted work. The sheet music is legally available for download on many sites including MusicNotes.com. www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0097925

You're welcome! Thank you for listening.

Far out, man!

@ericbauer9607: I can't say but every live performance by EWF I've heard seems to be in G (although Ab is probably a better horn key). I bet you're right about the master tape being sped up to raise the pitch.

@TheLurker_666: Thanks for listening. I don't control the rights so I'm fine with you downloading for your personal use.

Legend of a mind? ;-) Thanks again for listening.

Hi, Gustavo: Thank you very much. I'm glad you like the track. Since I do not have a license for this copyrighted song, I can't sell the audio to you. However, there are many free applications that permit users to download audio from RUclips. Lately, I have been using a paid app called VideoDuke that seems to work well. ¡Muchas gracias!

Thanks for listening. Great story. Coincidentally, this is the song my first band on which we discovered we could sing harmony vocals. Why not share your Steely Dan covers? I had no idea their catalog was as extensive as 90 songs.

@ even more than 90! I had to move due to partner’s job, so I miss a wonderful capable 12-piece band. But great idea, I might start a channel doing all the parts. Donald said in one interview they don’t mind people covering their songs! Re “Your Mama don’t dance” : that first show I realized a keyboardist should multitask and also sing backing vocals :)

Thank you for listening (and watching)!

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

Wow, thanks! I appreciate the compliment.

Thanks. I was near the same age and the original record did sound great over the AM radio.

Many thanks!!

E flat minor (or Eb Dorian to be more precise).

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you but this may not be the ‘final product.’ After listening to this cover for the first time in a couple of years, I definitely want to try a remix applying what I’ve learned in the interim. Thanks again for listening.

As George Harrison sang, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” Since I haven’t had any formal training in this, I’m sure there are much more efficient ways to record and the path I’ve settled on probably isn’t best for most people.

​@@jackinvoxbut you do it very well. The video in itself was entertaining. I have a question for you at the beat gear cavern. I hope you see it.

Thank you so much. That means a lot.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Thanks for listening. IMO, the Beatles were an under-rated R&B band and the addition of Billy Preston took this record to another level.

Glad you enjoyed it
